    """A virtual pet"""
    def __init__(self, name):
        print "A new critter has been born!"
        self.name = name

    def __str__(self):
        rep = "Critter object\n"
        rep += "name: " + self.name + "\n"
        return rep

    def __cmp__(self, other):
        if self.name > other.name:
            return 1
        if self.name < other.name:
            return -1
        if self.name == other.name:
            return 0      

    def talk(self):
        print "Hi.  I'm", self.name, "\n"
